Re: Round 12: Carlton vs. Port Adelaide - Post match celebrations

I could only listen on radio. When Docherty took that game saving mark in the dying seconds the commentators said it was the only thing he'd done right all day.

Yet some people here have him as one of our best.  Comments?

Find a different radio station, they don't have a clue

[crashlander]

I agree. He didn't have his best day, but he was a long way from bad. He had about 20 disposals and had 3 absolutely crucial interceptions in those in just the last quarter alone. He kept his opponents down quite well, although Chad Wind - bag did manage at least 2 goals on him (about the only possessions he had, but the fact that he kicked 5 goals was crucial and almost lethal). Ask Angus More - frees how he played: he couldn't get a kick against any of our smaller defenders.

Havnt been around for a while cos we've been so shite. But even had we lost yesterday, it's *that* effort and hardness that we supporters want to see week in and week out. Keep dishing this up on a regular basis and watch us supporters flood back to support you!!
20K @ the G is a dismal effort based only on the crap e've been watching up until now. Keep this style of footy up and 50K plus crowds will be a regular gig

Speaking of which, loved the fact that Buckley was able to hold his own against a beefed up juiced up Milkfrees on most occasions.

No FTA & no radio in Sydney and ........ we win !!

Can't take a trick .......

All I know after receiving a phone call is that Cripps played a blinder and the whole team played like men possessed.

Have to ask the question again, how much of this is attributable to Malthouse going and how much is it to do with a new game-plan & attitude ??

The other thing is, what has today done for Barker's chance of getting the gig next year ??

New coach = new attitude = happy supporters !!

Nice to know they are going to be competitive every week from now, it was so hard to stomach some of the performances earlier in the season.

The other thing is, some players who would have been considered a strong chance to be shown the door at the end of the season may end up being offered an extension if they keep up this renewed level of application. Its easy to boot guys who are just going through the motions but now, those who are busting their buns week after week deserve to be rewarded for that level of persistence.

Sheik,

You can open afl.com.au and click on the game that you want to listen to and then click on listen live or something like that. You will have a choice of several radio stations streaming the game live to listen from.

Hatchet job on Gibbs continuing  this am... personally I reckon he should get a week because it was unnecessary but I can remember a juicer from the bummers pile driving Carrotts and he didn't get rubbed out....

The number of times this has happened to us and no report has occurred makes me more than wonder. A hatchet Job indeed.

What would the write up be if Zeibel laid that tackle?
